Lilly's pov:

My hands went over the big pack of envelopes with my name on it, the ones Enzo gave me.

I just showered and was currently eating the burger with fries that just got delivered. There were more than a hundred envelopes in front of me and maybe I should just open one.

Lilly,
You want to know the truth and if I have to I will shout it to everyone on the planet. Every single person. I miss you, I miss you since I saw you step in my car and drove away. I don't know where you are but come home. Come home and shout at me. Come home and fight with me. Come home and break my heart if you want.
Just come home.
Lorenzo

I put on my headphones because the sound of the cleaners was too loud and grabbed another letter.

I read about ten but couldn't get enough, it was something about his writing that did something.

Lilly,
I have a confession; I'm allergic to cats.
I hope you are alright.
I miss you.
Take care of yourself

Lilly,
I saw you today at the park, you were dancing and laughing with a guy. As long as you're happy, I'm happy. It hurts me to not be the man you are happy with but I don't deserve to be. He looks great to you. Just promise me one thing. If he doesn't make you happy, leave. You deserve the best Lilly and if he gives you that I'm happy for you.
Take care of yourself
Lorenzo

Lilly,
It's three in the evening as I'm writing this. I haven't slept in almost twenty-four hours, my nightmares have been returning. I never told you I got them, they just went away with you. I'm trying Lilly. I'm trying so hard. To stay away from you. To not think about you. My life would be much easier if I could move on like you, but I know I can't.
Even if you never forgive me.
Even if you never talk to me again.
You will always be my first, last and only love.
Take care of yourself
Lorenzo

Lilly,
I just came home from the winter ball. I felt it all again, felt it all over. I understand that you're still angry at me. You have every right. I was just so heart broken by our conversation.
Maybe not in this lifetime but in another you forgive me.
Take care of yourself.
Lorenzo

A tear went down my cheek onto my burger, he wrote to me everyday not knowing if I would ever receive them.

December 31
Lilly,
Happy new year!
Hopefully you've got to celebrate it with the people you love. I hope you ate well and laughed a lot, maybe got presents. My wish this year is for you is that you will allow yourself happiness and love.
Take care of yourself.
Lorenzo

I didn't have a nice new year, I was locked into the basement and given the leftover chicken. I didn't get presents, I got a bruise on my leg and a broken rib.

Lilly,
I had no right to yell at you like that. We both lost a daughter.
I am trying to become a better man, the man you deserve.
Take care of yourself.
Lorenzo

January 29
Lilly,
My love, my light, my sunshine, my life.
Come home please, I'm begging you. I want the house filled with laughter and joyness. I miss waking up to you, your beautiful smile and the confused look on your face.
Take care of yourself
Lorenzo

I had already gone upstairs as I read all the remaining letters, I went by them so fast I only had one left. I will keep this one and read it tomorrow
